called the attention of the senate to the
journal of the last session. where Mr..
Goodrich is recorded as having voted in
favor of a resolution giving the chief clerk
SO per day. Mr., Goodrich replied that
If he was wrong then he wanted to be right
now He was Of the opinion that 81 80
was enough, and that was even more than
the senators who were just as efficient re-
ceVed for their services; and either at
the previous session he had been wrong
or the record was wrong. Wont Won
give a man chance to reform?" he in
quired, his voice tremulous with the con-
seriousness of having learned the right at
